Liliana

I didn't like that.

Nobody had ever done that to me.

Mind you, I'm four years old.

Like, I'm scared.

So I'm crying and he and my mom find it so hilarious that I'm scared.

So then he starts swinging me like closer to furniture so that my head gets closer to the furniture, closer to the floor, like bobbing me on the floor and stuff.

And it's so funny that my mom gets, you know, those cameras back in the day where you had to wind up the thing and make that noise and it has the film.

You got to take it to the store and get it developed.

Had those, was taking pictures of it.

And she still has them, like in a photo album.

She looks back on them like it's so funny.

My horrible crying grimace that I have on my face.

And...

It's a fun memory for them, and what I remember is being terrified and you guys laughing.

All I can hear in my ears is laughter.

It was traumatizing.

Like, I get, like, I wasn't hurt, but at the same time, it's not hard to see why a child would be scared of that.

Another thing that they would do is they would tell me lies to scare me.

One example was there was a day, again, four years old.

Can't stress that enough.
